The server does not see the json file, although it exists and everything worked on the local server. What could be causing such a problem?

Question

Microsoft Azure

uploaded all files via ftp from the site to microsoft azure hosting. In Ajax scripts, a static Json file is requested, but the server writes that the file was not found. Changed the file extension to txt easy finds. I returned 404 to json again. Reloading the site did not help. Although on the local server everything worked without problems.

Answer 1

The root directory of the site should contain a Web.config file with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <staticContent>
            <mimeMap fileExtension=".json" mimeType="application/json" />
     </staticContent>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>
